ST AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Jan. 15, 2020 - PRLog -- Stephanie Kinsey, DDS, owner and founder of Palencia Dental (http://www.palenciadental.com/), offers top trends and tips in 2020 for good oral health. According to Dr. Kinsey, Health.gov (https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/oral-health) guidelines for the start of the new decade focuses on oral and craniofacial disease, conditions, injuries, preventive services, and dental care.

"Whole body wellness includes proper care of the teeth, mouth, and surrounding head, neck, and facial structures as central to a person's overall health and well-being," said Dr. Kinsey. "Tooth decay, gum disease, cleft lip and palate, oral and facial pain, mouth and throat cancer, and dry mouth, plus a poor appearance due to oral neglect can benefit from significant improvements in oral health of Americans," she said. "Great wellness improvements can be made with effective procedures and treatment efforts for additional maladies such as TMJ, TMD, and with implants, veneers and whole mouth restorations."

"We can all benefit from effective self-care, such as brushing with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, and professional treatment. Health behaviors that can lead to poor oral health include cancer, diabetes, tobacco use, excessive alcohol use, and poor diet, to name a few," said Dr. Kinsey. "There are many advantages available to individuals of all ages which can eliminate barriers and promote a person's use of proper dental care."

For example, Dr. Kinsey acknowledges the use of community water fluoridation and dental practice dental sealant programs as leading evidence-based interventions to prevent tooth decay. Community water fluoridation is the most effective way to deliver the benefits of fluoride up to 40 percent and sealing the chewing surfaces of teeth which can prevent up to 80 percent of tooth decay in the treated teeth.

Dr. Kinsey added with cultural pressures to look and feel great, patients can be supported by a myriad of short and long-term solutions for better dental health and cosmetic improvements, plus aesthetics. "An attractive and pain free mouth and beautiful smile can be obtained for everyone," she said. "Try to devote time to you and your family's health and well-being," said Dr. Kinsey. "Our dental health, teeth and gums along with facial expressions may often show years of neglect due to poor hygiene or improper attention. For many, some simple treatments and procedures can help to create dental and whole-body health, and an appearance that can be improved."
